I'm Rita and I have kind of been lurking on and off for about a year. I have posted a few times and really appreciate the feedback that all of you have offered. I don't have a complete bio/planning site/ proposal story because I quickly run out of patience for stuff like that. I have filled in a few things though.
Lorn and I have been together for almost 8 years and we have already been officially engaged for over a year. I got my ring in Dec 2010. Although we had been engaged for almost a year at that time he still got down on one knee in the store to put the ring on my finger. Everyone around teared up including the very experienced salesperson who sold us the rings. It was a moment to remember!
We thought that one of us may get layed off from our jobs during that first year that we were engaged so we put off planning. We started to feel a little more secure towards the end of 2010 so we started planning. We booked our venue last October and our wedding date is 3-16-12.
We have booked the following so far:
E-Pics: Parasol Photagraphy
Venue for ceremony and reception: Hamony Chapel
Officiant: Rabbi David Gruber
Save the dates: Vistaprint
Bride's Cake: Candy Haven
Groom's cake: The Cheesecake Factory
Bride's dress: David's Bridal
Groom and groomsmen attire: Tuxedo Junction
Colors: Burgandy, Black and Ivory
Why does time speed up the closer I get to the wedding?
